The stars in the heavens still shine

Up above me: how lovely they'd seem

If you were with me

But you're gone through the looking glass

And I am left to pass these nights alone

I'm lost I'm dumb I'm blind

I am drunk with sadness

Sunk by madness -

The wave overwhelms me

The mirror repels me

The echo of your laugh

Drifts through the looking-glass

And I am alone

No friendship no comfort no future no home

The past lingers with me:

You're all the love I've ever known

Without you I'm nothing

But empty and silent

Reflecting on all that I've lost

I let you slip away so soon

Can you hear me This is my song

I am dying; you are gone

These words are not enough to save my soul

They just mock me from the mirror

I'm cold and I'm yearning

I've told you I'm burning

My eyes can't stand the light

Like a stray dog in the night

I'll shuffle off alone

We all make our futures

But I have lost mine;

I'm hoping for a miracle

But finding no sign

The stars in their constellations

Each one sadly flickers and falls

Without you they mean nothing at all
